This is my sister, Shirley, who has been in a Nursing Home for three years because of severe rheumatoid arthritis. I believe she is one of the two people in the Home who has a sharp mind and knows where she is.
For the Halloween party today she masqueraded as the "Dollmaker" and had some of her Halloween dolls attached to her wheelchair for the competition. She handmade her costume and also crocheted pumpkins for everyone to wear. She got second place.
I am always amazed at the spirit with which she goes about her daily routine.
At 88 years old she still has a zest for life--and competition.
Below is a photo in 2005 when she was Queen of Hearts.
